Surrey trials quad bike gritter

A quad bike gritter is the latest weapon in Surrey County Council’s armoury to tackle ice and snow this winter. The four-wheeler is being used on a trial basis to grit roads and clear snow at the same time in places ordinary trucks cannot go.

Ian Lake, Surrey County Council’s Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment, said: “As part of our campaign to keep Surrey moving this winter, we’re trialling with our contractor May Gurney this quad bike to get to those difficult to reach areas.”
